Chapter 65: Chinese New Year (1)
More than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, it is already the small year of January 14, and in a few days it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the snow in the two days of Sijiu City is exceptionally heavy.
Zhang Zhonghua stood in front of the window, watching the window The whole world was covered in snow, and it was covered in snow.
The snow had stopped, but the sky was still cloudy, and from time to time a few snowflakes fell from the sky, and with the howling north wind swirling in the air, they finally fell to the ground and disappeared into the snow.
Ruixue is a good year, and I hope to have a good harvest next year.
Zhang Zhonghua has been in this world for half a year, and he is a little emotional when he recalls the experience of half a year.
From joining the acting deputy section chief to taking off the word agent after the National Day art show.
From letting He Yuzhu avoid stealing the chicken pot on his back to helping him get married, he completely got rid of the Jia family sucking blood and sucking blood on him.
Until in order to help the Lou family pit Xu Damao's bad embryo, and solve the problem of material shortage in the rolling mill, to achieve a win-win situation of killing two birds with one stone.
This half year can be said to have been smooth and remarkable.
Since Zhang Zhonghua provided pork for the rolling mill last time, he handed over 2,000 catties of pork to the rolling mill during this period, but this time because of Zhang Zhonghua's request, it was no longer him who took the slip to the finance department to receive the money, but the cash directly given to him by Deputy Director Li.
Although Zhang Zhonghua's name was not on the note opened by the factory director, there were many people in the agency after all, and Zhang Zhonghua was afraid of being bumped into.
And reached an agreement with Deputy Director Li that Zhang San would provide two whole pigs to the rolling mill every week in the future, and Zhang Zhonghua would no longer come forward in all the transaction process, and Zhang San would be responsible for all of them, and the money would also be handed over to Zhang San.
Zhang Zhonghua completely got out of this incident, and let Zhang Zhonghua be completely clean and spotless.
When you wait for the wind and rain, ride the wind and turn into a dragon.
And Zhang San also began to wander around the black market in Sijiu City, meeting with Zhang Zhonghua every ten days to get supplies.
Zhang Zhonghua didn't ask for the money from the sale, and most of them were exchanged for antique jade and gold.
Money has no value in itself, and its value will only get lower and lower as time goes on.
Antique jade and gold will only become more and more valuable, the most important thing is that there are relatively few antiques in these years, even if they are fake, they are imitations of the previous dynasty, as long as the price is low enough, it will never lose money.
And most of the antiques are still real, and it's really hard to lose money.
For this reason, Zhang Zhonghua also asked Zhang San to start specializing in antique jade, and found a lot of former pawnshops and antique shops to learn, these unique skills that could not be passed on before, and now he will teach you what you want to learn.
After all, many people can't eat enough, and there are still a few people who have the heart to study antique jade, and these courtiers can't use their ability to eat, as long as they give money and things, they can say anything.
When Zhang Zhonghua was standing in front of the window to summarize the half-year period, the radio of the rolling mill suddenly sounded.
"Attention to all rolling mill employees, attention to all rolling mill employees, attention to all rolling mill employees."
Hearing the sound of the radio, the entire rolling mill, whether it was a worker or a cadre, a regular worker or an apprentice, all the work put down the work in their hands, and those who were chatting closed their mouths and began to listen to the radio seriously.
Because according to the past practice, Xiao Nian will pay New Year's benefits today, and in order to let the workers have a good year, it is possible to pay wages in advance.
The benefits are different every year, but I heard that this year's benefits are very generous, so the workers are still looking forward to the New Year's benefits.
As for early pay, it's hard to say, after all, it's not a hard and fast rule.
For example, last year's Chinese New Year happened to be on February 1st, so although the salary was paid a few days in advance, it was the salary of January.
The January salary was paid the year before last, and it was a small year in less than a week, so the salary was not paid in advance.
I just don't know if I will pay my salary early this year.
"According to the decision of the factory committee, in order to allow all the employees of the rolling mill to have a good year, the wages for February will be paid in advance this afternoon......"
Listening to this many workers can't help but be a little excited, although now there is no more at the end of the month, but in order to have a rich year, after a few days there will not even be radish and cabbage, and it is nothing to only gnaw on the stick noodles.
Because for Chinese, in addition to life and death, the New Year is the most important event, so there is an annual grand and epic Spring Festival.
"And no employee sends half a pound of pork and ......"
Hearing that there was half a catty of pork, the cheers resounded throughout the rolling mill, and even the howling north wind could not cover the cheers that rushed to the sky.
In the workshop, in the office building, and in places where there are many people, you can't even hear the harsh sound of the loudspeaker.
This is half a catty of pork, and in previous years, I was thankful that I could have two taels of meat.
Don't look at half a catty, it's only worth a few cents, but it's almost the New Year, even if you have money and tickets, you can't buy meat.
You can only buy it on the black market, but at least one dollar on the black market, and even meat is in short supply on the black market.
In the workshop, Qin Huairu was still worried, seeing that it was the New Year, there were only radishes and cabbages at home, and his mother-in-law didn't take the money out.
If you really rely on radish and cabbage for the New Year, it is small to lose people in front of the neighbors, the old pious woman of the Jia Zhang family can bury her to death, and now there is no He Yuzhu's help, this year the Jia family is estimated to be able to be lively.
This half catty of pork saved her life.
After work in the afternoon, all the workers of the rolling mill carried things in their hands, their wages in their pockets, and their faces were full of happy smiles, thinking about how to give their families a big surprise when they went home.
Zhang Zhonghua did not ride a bicycle because of the heavy snowfall, and he also carried his things and walked out with the crowd of people off work, with a smile on his face.
Although he is not short of these things, smiles and happiness are contagious.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the workers around him, listening to their cheerful conversations and imagining the happy picture of the New Year, his mood also became happy, and the smile unconsciously climbed up his face.
As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I saw Yan Bugui, the third master, standing at the door and shaking his head from time to time, as if he was enjoying the snow.
"Three masters, are you here to enjoy the snow?" Zhang Zhonghua walked up to him and joked with him with a smile.
"No, no, what kind of snow do I appreciate, I'm just happy to see this heavy snow."
"Yes, Ruixue is a good year, in recent years, there have been bumper harvests of grain year after year, and next year will definitely be another bumper harvest."
"The harvest is good, the harvest is good, the grain harvest has been failing continuously in the past few years, think about it, alas!" Yan Bugui's voice was a little emotional, and even a little sad.
"Okay, three masters, it's all a young year, we don't want to be unhappy, people still have to look forward, don't you think it's been good in the past few years?" Zhang Zhonghua didn't expect Yan Bugui to think of those years, so he hurriedly comforted him.
